Best commute bike

[jimboalee]

An old tatty 20" shopping bike, rebuilt to be reliable.

Motorists are so stunned seeing a muscley geezer on a ladies bike, they give all the room and time you need.
It's prob the case of "If he's got the nerve to ride THAT in town, he's got the nerve to punch me in the face".

OR

"The guy's a lunatic, stay away from him!"

mines a girls(womens) bike. A step thru or unisex.

My SWorks is getting lighter.

It started out a deep maroon, then a year later it was burgundy, then Crimson, scarlet and cerise.
Next year no doubt it will be pastel pink and I'll have to scrap it.

Full bore lycra or leather work boots?

 

[fossyant]

Cool................... need a tad longer reach on the bars though...... You must look like a man possessed on that

Land Rover workwear and steelie toe cap safety shoes. Weight lifting mittens, no helmet and a menacing wide eyed grimace.

Okay - people will just think you are a POB (if you subscribe to that meaning) then

A POB riding at seventeen mph along the Stratford Road in Hall Green with a youngster of half his age on a hybrid wearing a flouro jacket, struggling to keep up.

I must admit, I do fancy a Raleigh Twenty. You can do some very nifty things with them...

I was loafing around on the internet earlier and this beauty popped up - as a commuter bike, I can't find any fault with this handsome beast.
